Abstract
The decrease in sugar productivity was due to insufficient process of the sugar production process such as the low efficiency of boiler machine input energy. This study aims to analyze the potential use of Bagasse Briquetting Fuel (BBF) made from sugarcane milling waste at PT Madubaru as an attempt to obtain the optimal efficiency of boiler machine. Analysis of the effect of the adhesive concentration on the BBF quality was carried out to determine the optimal composition of the use of adhesive materials. Economic analysis was also conducted to determine the economic potential of BBF development. The analysis revealed that the BBF from Sugarcane milling waste has Calorific Value of 17,367-19,497 KJ/kg and density of 0.740-0.915 g/cm3. BBF with an adhesive variation of 1.25% is the BBF with the highest efficiency because it meets the needs of boiler fuel with the least amount of 100.8 tons/day for the operation of 1 boiler machine. The development of BBF from sugarcane milling waste has a selling value of Rp1.390.5,-/kg much lower than the existing biomass fuels found in the market. Keywords: Bagasse briquetting fuel; Boiler machine; Energy efficiency; Renewable energy; Sugarcane milling waste.
